[scilab-Users] what am I doing wrong

[jasper van baten]

Would be confusing if it were the other way 
around. Normally a unary minus has a lower 
operator precedence than a power. I cannot 
quickly find a list of scilab's operator 
precedence. I presume it is pretty standard. For example in

a - b - c

you would not expect b - c to get evaluated first 
and then subtracted from a... If you would want that, you would write

a - (b - c)

Jasper.
